Majestic Space: Winter Rusiloski

In his essay on Winter Rusiloski’s current body of work, Dr. Scott Robinson writes, “These dynamic surfaces are epic journeys through majestic spaces. Each voyage is signified by endless horizons intersected by lightening marks, passages of eternity balanced by ephemeral moments of present, near space reaching toward vast distances, palpable surface textures dissolving in and out of ethereal mists. Every canvas is a poesis of mark making that draws from the primordial smudges found on a cave wall to pieces of the moment here, right now, and all that moves in between.“  Explore Winter Rusiloski’s poetic landscapes in Majestic Space, a new exhibition at Artspace111.
